Intensive breeding is related to formation of considerable amount of manure which may be used as a natural fertilizer.

The use of manure caused reduction of expenditures on materials and raw materials used in production, in particular of fertilizers. At comparable yields obtained by two farms, technology based on manure fertilization proved to be more efficient.
